| is a GTX 1070 still worth in mid 2019? Posted: 05 Jul 2019 10:32 PM PDT I'm looking for a good GPU for my first build and tried looking on eBay to see if I could find a good deal. I see the 1070 at some very attractive prices (auctions starting ~$150) Is the 1070 starting to get left behind? I would prefer not to spend over 200 a GPU but I still want to get as much performance as possible in AAA games. [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Can anyone recommend any minimalistic cases for less than $100 Posted: 06 Jul 2019 01:31 PM PDT I've been looking at the Corsair Spec 06 but I've been told the thermal performance is pretty poor. Are the NZXT H500 or Corsair Carbide 275R any good? [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| My 1st PC build (Didn't receive any feedback @ PCPP) Posted: 06 Jul 2019 01:27 PM PDT What is your intended use for this build? The more details the better. Gaming is the primary purpose. I'd also like to get into streaming, and perhaps some video editing later on. If gaming, what kind of performance are you looking for? (Screen resolution, framerate, game settings) 1440p @ 50-60+ FPS / some 4k @ 30-50ish FPS What is your budget (ballpark is okay)? trying to keep it around 1500 In what country are you purchasing your parts? US Post a draft of your potential build here (specific parts please)..
Provide any additional details you wish below. Cooler, Case & RAM were chosen for aesthetics. Other noob questions I have: 1. Should I be investing in a "better" MB? 2. Is the PSU enough to power all the components to meet my needs? 3. Should I just go with a SATA 6 as pose to the M.2? 4. I'm also looking at the following monitors (I'd like something to take full advantage of the system I'm assembling. I'm planning on using the monitor for FPS games, so while I do want it to look pretty, performance would be my primary concern. Dell S-Series 27 inch (S2719DGF) 4b. My 4k HDR TV (Sony 930e) has a native refresh of 120hz. If I wanted to play single player titles like Dark Souls, Assassins ect, can i literally just plug my PC into my tv's HDMI and play 4k on reduced framerates? Like I mentioned in the title, I didnt get much help from PCPP, so I'm hoping to get some help from the community here. Thank you in advance to everyone who chimes in!

| Looking to purchase 2080 ti. Is the difference in manufacturer's 'boost clock' worth it? Posted: 06 Jul 2019 10:58 AM PDT The standard black edition EVGA 2080 ti has a boost clock of 1545 MHz, and for $300+ the FTW3 Ultra has a boost clock of 1770 MHz. My questions are: 1) Is this an inherent boost? i.e. do i have to run the EVGA overclocker software every time in order to get the speed increase? 2) Is a 200 MHz boost really that much better? I can't imagine it would... [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 06 Jul 2019 07:11 AM PDT I don't live in US and computer parts are very expensive here, for for example a computer build for 2000$ here will cost me 1000-1200$ on newegg with shipping and tax I have 2 primary questions: 1) How is the quality of popular parts? for example the 4/5 or 5/5 rating graphic cards with 50+ reviews and such 2) How exactly does warranty work? say I order a graphic card or CPU and it either does not work or stops working or has some problem within 6 months, do I actually have to pay for shipping it to the US and then wait for an answer? wont this take me months?

| PSU providing no power to any part of PC, what should I do? Posted: 06 Jul 2019 02:12 PM PDT Not even case fans turn on :/ PSU is corsair 650 Watts, which is more than enough for my build Motherboard is TOMAHAWK B450 Case is kolink observatory Everything is seemingly wired correctly, all parts were received new in package, l bought from amazon directly. Any thoughts? [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Gaming on medium-high at 1440p; are the new GPUs worth it? Posted: 06 Jul 2019 12:44 PM PDT Hi r/buildapc, I'm looking to run an eGPU setup to my laptop to play older games at 1440p 60hz, medium settings (I know, eGPUs aren't great, but I really like the technology and I think it's neat, plus I'm looking to upgrade to a PC further down the line and the eGPU is a temporary solution). My initial choice of card was going to be the RX580, but I visited the Microcenter to check out the prices today and the RX580 ($185) is really close in price to the 1660 ($200), and I saw a Vega 56 for just shy of $300. I was seriously considering buying it, but there's also the RTX 2060, soon to be a lot cheaper, and the Navi cards coming out. My question is, is it worth it to buy the newer cards? Am I going to need them, or am I better served by buying the cheapest RX580? Note on budget: I'm not short on money, persay (within reasonable limitations), but I just don't really see the need to push high or ultra settings on things I play. Anything under $400, as long as there's a reasonable benefit for the extra cost, I would consider. [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Looking to upgrade this desktop I built years ago after some issues I've been having. Posted: 06 Jul 2019 02:25 PM PDT So just to preface this, my computer has been crashing generally when playing games and I wasn't sure if it was the GPU or the memory so I'm just looking for better parts to upgrade all around now. Thanks :) Build Help:Have you read the sidebar and rules? (Please do) Yes I have. What is your intended use for this build? The more details the better. Gaming and general desk work. If gaming, what kind of performance are you looking for? (Screen resolution, framerate, game settings) 1920x1080, At least 60 FPS, and Medium to High Settings. What is your budget (ballpark is okay)? I think the original price of this build was around $600 or $700 USD so from there to about $900 I'd say. In what country are you purchasing your parts? US **Post a draft of your potential build here (specific parts please). [Consider formatting your parts list.] PCPartPicker Part List

| Posted: 06 Jul 2019 01:12 PM PDT I recently purchased a laptop but it only comes with a 1TB SSD. I wanted to know if I would run into any problems using the SSD as the sole drive. I do know that you shouldn't download/write to an SSD excessively but I will definitely be doing so. I'm not sure if I should get an HD to complement it or are SSD's at a level where using it as normally as using a HD would be okay. Thanks!

| 2080 Ti, 2080 Super, 1080 Ti or 2070 Super Posted: 05 Jul 2019 07:15 PM PDT I got an unexpected amount of inheritance and would like to splurge a bit. Right now I have an 1070 Ti, would it be worth the price/performance to upgrade to any of these GPU's? I'm torn, because the 2080 Ti doesn't seem to be really worth the rediculous asking price. The 2080 Super from what I've read might only be 10-15% faster than the 2080. A used 1080 Ti would be great for the price, but it's pretty old and doesn't support ray tracing well. A 2070 Super doesn't seem that big enough of an upgrade from a 1070 Ti, but it's great for the price. Which GPU should I get? [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Posted: 06 Jul 2019 02:58 PM PDT I've done tons of research and am fully aware of new AMD CPUs/GPUs as well as RTX super line, including their benchmarks, etc. I've decided that these are not worth the extra $$$ for what my purposes are. Change my mind;) I am shooting for only gaming, 1080 high FPS in games like Rainbow 6, PUBG, Skyrim, MCC, etc. I'm curious about people's thoughts on this build? Most likely will be the build I pull the trigger on. [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Posted: 06 Jul 2019 10:23 AM PDT I'm new to building PCs, and would love for your opinion on a build I put together. I'm trying to hit a lot of the deals for 7/7 at Microcenter/Newegg so I'm looking to buy right away. My budget is $1000-$1300, and I'm going to use the PC for gaming - I play a variety of games and don't want it to be bottlenecked for anything resource-intensive. I also would like it to be useful for machine learning, since I'm learning that as well and would prefer not to buy server time since I'm going to have this nice new computer. This is at about a $1250 USD on PCPartPicker, but I can get it around $1050 with all of the deals.

| Posted: 06 Jul 2019 01:51 PM PDT Hello, looking to upgrade my 2600 with one of the new generation Ryzen CPUs. What would pair best with my EVGA 650w gold PSU, RTX 2080 GPU, Asus Prime X470- Pro mobo, and 1440p 144hz monitor? Mostly just use it to code and game, what new Ryzen model should I get?

| My build still won't post, any help appreciated! Posted: 06 Jul 2019 01:41 PM PDT Hey all, My troubles all started when I decided to upgrade my CPU from my previous build. I had recently purchased a 1080 Ti, and realized that my old i5 6th gen was severely bottlenecking it. Without doing my homework, I bought a new i9 9900K, put it in my Z-170 mobo (first mistake), flipped the power button, and... nothing. I got a green light on the mobo but wouldn't post at all. While trying to make it work I took out the different components, ensured the correct connections, and continued to try to power it on without success. While doing this I realized that I got a minuscule amount of thermal paste on the bottom of the cpu and I did attempt to start it with the thermal paste on the bottom before I noticed it (2nd mistake). I cleaned the bottom carefully with a dry cloth and didn't see any residue or any damage at all to cpu there. I asked a friend, realized my mistake that the mobo was incompatible with the cpu, and purchased a brand new Asus Maximus Hero XI Z-390 card. The only problem I ran into when reassembling was that the power connections for the CPU were an 8 pin and 4 pin, where as my PSU only had 8 pin connections for the CPU. I was able to plug both in with the extra pins hanging off of the side. Otherwise, I had no problems connecting everything. I turned the PSU on and the motherboard lit up. I pressed the power button, and the fins spun for just a second and the mobo lit up and then ... again nothing! Wouldn't post. There is an error code system on my new card which briefly lights up yellow which is the "DRAM failure" indicator according to the manual, however the RAM was just working in my last card and according to pc part picker my RAM is compatible. In addition took all of my RAM sticks out and checked them one by one with the same result. I thought that perhaps it wasn't posting due to shorting out so I took it out of the case completely. I took the mobo out, put it on a table with the static plastic bag under it that the motherboard came in, and plugged in only the CPU, CPU fan, GPU, and 1 stick of RAM. Still the same thing- the fan started up, same error code lit up, and then stalled out after a second. I thought it might be prudent to share what happens exactly when I attempt a start: - Usually when the PSU is first powered on and I press power switch, nothing happens at all. - I flip the PSU switch off for a few seconds, flip it back on, press the power switch, and that's when the mobo attempts to post for a second or two and then stops. - if I press the power switch again, nothing happens until i turn the PSU off and on again. At this point I have a few guesses- maybe you all can shed some light? Or at least learn from my mistakes. a) I broke the CPU by trying to post in a wrong mobo, even though they are both LGA1151 socket mobos. I did try to post it in the Z-170 several times. b) I fried the CPU with the tiny amount of thermal paste on the bottom. I don't see anything wrong physically with the card at all however. Curse my fat fingers. c) The PSU is incompatible with this motherboard regarding the CPU power. I tried to check on PC part picker but it doesn't really say one way or the other (the compatibility is ghosted out when you go to their website). d) Somehow the RAM is not working in this board even though PC part picker says it is compatible with my mobo e) The BIOS isn't updated for this CPU- I really doubt this is it. I looked it up and this CPU should be compatible with all Z-390 cards out of the box from what I can tell. [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| What quiet CPU water cooler under $130 would you use on the Ryzen 3900x for OCing? Posted: 06 Jul 2019 03:36 PM PDT I think I'm going to go with water cooling just because I don't want any ram slots blocked. Actually it won't be a big deal if only 2 are blocked. What do you guys recommend? I was considering the thermalake water 3.0 but I've read about too many issues on amazon from purchasers. I don't care about lights or anything.

| Should I sell my 4K 60Hz Monitor and buy a 1440p 144hz. Posted: 06 Jul 2019 03:29 PM PDT I'm building a pc I'm just waiting for the 2070 super to be released, I got an i5 8600k. This is my first build, I have a ps4 Pro (sorry) that I still plan on using a lot so I'm not sure if it's worth it, on my pc I plan to mainly play competitive games like Overwatch, Rocket League and some other stuff like Watch Dogs 3 when that comes out. I mean I would rather just buy a new one and keep both but I'm going to start college and I don't think I can fit two monitors on my desk.

| Posted: 06 Jul 2019 11:21 AM PDT Troubleshooting Help:What is your parts list? Consider formatting your parts list.
Describe your problem. List any error messages and symptoms. Be descriptive. I followed the ~$900 build from this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5jFXl0GZJo&t=767s i followed the video closely (not every part matched exactly, and the case was slightly different). When I flip the on switch none of the fans or LED lights come on. All i hear is a slight whirr from the Power supply. List anything you've done in attempt to diagnose or fix the problem. I haven't tried anything yet, but i might try looking over the various cables and plugs, which is probably where the problem lies. I think the power supply is turning on, as i can hear a faint whirring when the power is flipped. Post relevant photos of build/parts here.

| Posted: 06 Jul 2019 02:46 PM PDT I want to build a PC for gaming, but not some super build for getting competitive or running 4k graphics on the most complex games on the market. So far I have the AMD Ryzen 5 2600, with 6 cores 12 threads 3.9 GHz on my list for CPU, a WD Blue 1TB 7200RPM hard drive, and vengeance LPX 16GB (8GB x 2) DDR4 3000MHz for RAM. What would be a good motherboard? My uncle said go with ASUS and that led me to an Amazon rabbit hole. Also said EVGA or ATI for video card, that just opened up a way more expensive amazon rabbit hole. I don't even know what to look for or what any of the numbers and whatnot meant, I just know this is a very important and expensive step and I don't wanna screw the pooch here. Does it make sense to wanna decide case, monitor, mouse and keyboard after all this is settled or is my case a pretty important part in choosing the motherboard here? [link] [comments]  |
